<!--T:1--><br />
Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation == <!--T:2--><br />
<br />
<!--T:3--><br />
Plymouth is available from the Manjaro repositories. However, some steps need to be followed to set it up properly.<br />
<br />
<!--T:4--><br />
The steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth#Installation apply, except the last step.<br />
<br />
<!--T:5--><br />
When rebuilding the initrd image, the "linux" preset does not exist. Use the one that corresponds to you kernel version:<br />
<br />
<!--T:6--><br />
sudo mkinitcpio -p linux<version><br />
<br />
<!--T:7--><br />
If you do not know what value to use, look in the {{ic|/etc/mkinitcpio.d}} directory. It contains all available presets (files with the .preset extension). For example:<br />
<br />
<!--T:8--><br />
{{UserCmd|command=sudo mkinitcpio -p linux419}}<br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
Note that in order to enable Plymouth on boot you must edit {{ic|/etc/default/grub}} and add the word "''splash''" to the list of arguments for the following line, as shown:<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"<br />
<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
Make sure not to remove anything else that may already be there.<br />
<br />
== Configuration == <!--T:13--><br />
<br />
<!--T:14--><br />
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth#Configuration<br />
<br />
== Removal == <!--T:15--><br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
4 or 5 steps are needed to remove Plymouth. They are:<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
* Remove plymouth hook from ''/etc/mkinitcpio.conf'' (For disk encryption users should plymouth-encrypt to encrypt)<br />
<br />
<!--T:18--><br />
* Regenerate the initramfs for your kernel with '''sudo mkinitcpio -p linux<version>'''<br />
<br />
<!--T:19--><br />
* Remove the word splash & quiet from the Grub command line options via editing ''/etc/default/grub''<br />
<br />
<!--T:20--><br />
* Update Grub config file with '''{{UserCmd|command=sudo update-grub}}'''<br />
<br />
<!--T:21--><br />
* Configure display manager:<br />
** [https://classicforum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=14213.msg128429#msg128429 For Xfce]<br />
** [https://classicforum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=14213.msg139844#msg139844 For KDE, replacing kdm with sddm for most newer installs, and systemctl can generally be successful without sudo].<br />
<br />
<!--T:22--><br />
* After that the plymouth package and its themes can be removed. For example:<br />
{{UserCmd|command=sudo pacman -Rsn plymouth plymouth-theme-manjaro-elegant}}<br />
<br />
<br />
